Sanding is optional, when I finish mounting my fxrs on the reflector I'm painting them at the same time as the housing, I'm just going to clean them up with alcohol and paint. Plenty of guys on that have not sanded and no one that I know has any issues from not sanding.

Krylon fusion, clean really well, wipe with alcohol, then make sure its all dust fee. a few coats of the fusion should work ok. and when you put it all back together seal the sh1t out of everything, theres a lot there to leak

Well HOPEFULLY tomorrow these will look black and will be sealed up nice and tight. lol

the paint part is explained in viets writeup i think (I havent touched lights in a while thank god).

Curing the paint is just re baking kinda..........

also when re-sealing the 2 halves together, I keep ALL bulbs out until the inner (window weld) has cooled (while clamped) for 24hrs, and then I also seal between the 2 halves from the outside with GE silicone II, and press it into the gaps by hand with fingers covered by plastic bag pieces, or latex gloves. I then let this cure overnight. Then I put in bulbs and put lights on truck.

maybe (MORE THAN LIKELY) overkill...........but I have never had hazing, and u know redoing this is a PITA and maybe my overkill methods are worth it.

I also use clamps (gator clamps) while the lights are in the oven, then I take em out and press the 2 halves together firmly with my hands (wearing cheap welding gloves)......then re clamp, and put back in oven....then take em out, press by hand, and reclamp 24hrs while the off gassing occurs.

I know Im crazy

No I agree good method. Yes maybe over kill but if it causes you not to have to go back and redo it them that's a good thing.

I've been asked to do this mod many of times and I always tell them give me a good two three days to get it done and they don't wanna wait and want it done in 8 hours

Yes it can be done in 8 hours but like me you will prolly have to reopen and clean the haze off.
